Hey everyone! What's up? Here's the second chapter of Shinji's Journal. Funny stuff in this one. It probably won't be as happy as the prior chapter, but it still shouldn't be TOO serious. Well. . . HERE WE GO!

"BAKA! HENTAI!!!!!"
*Whack*
Shinji Ikari woke with a start as his head suddenly felt like it had been stung by a rather large wasp. Fortunately, it was not a large wasp, it was Asuka's hand. Or maybe it wasn't so fortunate. . .
"What are you doing in bed with the first?!?!"
"Ugh. . . A-Asuka?"
"Yes it's me BAKA! Now answer my question, why are you IN BED with. . ."
"He was sleeping." Rei answered Asuka's tirade of angry questions with calmness and tranquility. There was a tad bit of sarcasm, but only Shinji caught it. Shinji, however, holds back his chuckles so as not to upset Asuka any further.
"Hmph! Well I don't know why you'd wanna' sleep with that baka hentai anyway!"
With that parting shot Asuka quickly left the room. Shinji and Rei turned to each other and smiled. They both chuckled softly, Shinji loved the kawai way that Rei laughed. They then embraced and went back to sleep. . .

2 hours later
"Shinji! Rei!" Gendou called through the door.
Shinji turned to Rei, "Uh oh. He's gonna' be angry again."
Rei looked at Shinji thoughtfully, "I do not believe so. I had a discussion with him last night. I assured him that we will not have intercourse until we are of a significantly older age."
Shinji blushed a bit at the thought of Rei and himself having intercourse. Well anyway, Shinji knew that his dad might get angry if Shinji didn't answer him soon.
"Yeah dad?"
"Could you come make breakfast now?"
"Hai!"
Shinji decided that it was a good time to get dressed. He reluctantly released the comfortable embrace he had been in all night long. It was a terrible feeling, like he was leaving the one thing that made him happy. Rei caught Shinji's change in mood and said. . .
"I will be here when it's done."
Shinji didn't have the necessary knowledge to properly understand this yet. Shinji took what Rei said and figured that she simply meant that when the day was done, she'd be waiting in his bed, with the warm, loving, and open embrace. Shinji's content smile returned to his peaceful visage as he walked out the door of his room and headed for the kitchen.

^"This unit is slightly different from Unit 02."^
"Yeah, yeah, I _know_."
^"Are you ready?"^
"Aa! I'm ready! JUST START THE FRIGGIN' TEST!"
^"Calm down first."^
"Fine. I'm calm. . . I'm calm. . ."
^"Alright, start the activation of Unit 01!"
^"Beginning activation now!"
^"Starting stage 1"
^"Stage one passed, starting stage two, begin A10 nerve connections."
^"A10 nerve connections established, border line approaching, 10. . ."
8 seconds later, the pilot of Unit 02, was sitting in the cockpit of Unit 01. The border line was becoming increasingly near, and the pilot was concentrating completely on connecting with the Eva.
^"2. 1. Border line reached!"
Please, please, please, please work!
^"Border line reversed, plug ejecting!"
The plug unscrewed itself from the Eva's back and the hatch opened. Asuka jumped out and started rambling some curses in German. She walked away from the entry plug with a royally pissed expression.

A dark dark man, with dark dark hair, and dark dark blue eyes, sat in a dark dark room, with a dark da. . .OUCH! Hey that wasn't nice! Okay, okay, I get the picture. No more dark stuff.
Anyways, that da. . . menacing man was none other than GENDOU IKARI!!! Ooohh. . . Scary. . . So the man sat there with his hands folded before his face. He held this pose for a while, it seemed he was contemplating something. One would think he looked like a stone statue, that is, unless you were slightly behind him and to his side. If this was your relative position to the man, you would notice the slight giggling smile that was playing across his features. . .
"Give it up Rokubungi. You can't pull off the 'I am evil and will end the world while single-handedly destroying the lives of three teens,' look."
"Damnit sensei, you always ruin my fun!" Gendou pouted up at the man slightly behind him and to the side.
"And that, dear student, is _my_ fun!" Kozou Fuyutsuki chuckled as he looked down upon the man who now looked more like a rather large infant.
*Knock Knock!*
A loud knock resounded in the gigantic room.
"Yes! Come in!" Gendou called.
"Hai sir!" The door to the Commander's room slowly opened, and a very somber looking Lieutenant Ibuki walked through the door.
"Umm. . . Sir. . . TheTestDidn'tWork." The last 4 words came out in a quiet little "Please don't hurt me!" voice.
"Umm. . . What was that lieutenant?"
"Umm. . ."
Gendou suddenly realized that he had retained his costume thus far. Gendou removed his glasses and smiled at the young woman. Remembering just who she was talking to, Maya visibly relaxed.
"The test, sir. . ." Maya was no longer scared, but sad that she had to deliver the bad news. "was a failure."
Gendou's face fell, but he knew that he should reassure the Lieutenant. "That's okay, Shinji has been saying that he wishes he could protect Rei, now he has a chance." Gendou said with a half-hearted smile.
"I'm sorry sir." Maya voiced her regret at the negative response of the test.
"Thank you for caring Ibuki-san. I must ask that you return to your post though. I will be leaving for the rest of the day. Please inform everyone that for the rest of the day Fuyutsuki is in charge."
"Hai sir!" May said as she walked out the door and back to the bridge.
"Fuyutsuki, I'm leaving you in charge, please don't call unless an angel attacks."
"Hai Rokubungi, now get going and tell your son of his. . . destiny."
"Goodbye, until tomorrow." Genou Ikari says this as he leaves through the door of his office.
- - - - - - - - - -
Shinji sat on the couch, remote in hand, watching TV. However, this was not like any other TV watching session prior. This TV watching session included a petite girl around the age of 15. This girl, sitting is Shinji's lap, would periodically tilt her head back, smile, and give Shinji some quick and sweet kisses. The girl seemed to enjoy herself, and Shinji wasn't complaining at all. As Rei went up for another few kisses, the door opened. . .
"Eeewww. . .! Shinji and Rei, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"Dad?!"
Shinji had a bewildered look on his face as he stared at the man that had just entered the living room.
"What are you doing home so early?!"
Gendou's chuckling and cheery countenance changed at his son's question.
"Umm. . . Shinji. . . I have some bad news." Gendou looked sadly at his son.
"You have been selected as the pilot of Evangelion Unit 01." Rei finished Gendou's statement for him, as a slightly disappointed frown was displayed on her face.
"Hai, Rei, how did you know?" Gendou inquired, already knowing the answer, but Shinji didn't need to know that.
"I knew that Eva would require Shinji. I figured it was very likely that Unit 01 would reject Asuka after already rejecting me, twice." She added the last word more for herself than anyone else. Rei continued to frown as she listened and waited for Shinji's reply to the news.
"Good. Now I can help Rei." Shinji turned away from his father and looked at Rei. "Rei, now I can protect you." Shinji smiled down at Rei. Rei gave him a quick peck, and then continued to stare into his deep blue eyes.
"But, what if you get hurt Shinji? Did you think of that?"
"As long as you're safe, it doesn't matter." Shinji said this with a warm smile on his face. Gendou looked at his son and was suddenly reminded of Yui. "Just like his mother," Gendou mumbled.
Shinji was so lost in Rei's crimson eyes that he missed his father's words, and his father's tears. Gendou Ikari slowly retreated to his room, careful not to disturb the couple.
Shinji and Rei were about a minute into another 10 minute kiss(yes it's possible) when Asuka entered the apartment.
"AGHH!!! Get a room!" Asuka yelled this at the two teens as she ran to her room and slammed the door shut.
Rei and Shinji glanced at each other again and chuckled. "Well I guess I should get dinner ready!" Shinji said cheerily as he gave Rei another peck on the cheek and went towards the kitchen.
"What's for dinner?" Rei asked.
"Nothing special. I'm too tired from last night's dinner to prepare anything extravagant. I figured that a little spaghetti would be fine. I heard Asuka hates Japanese food, so until she gets used to it I'm just gonna' have ta' keep making European food."
"Sounds good to me!" Rei said with a bright cheery voice. Suddenly Rei's voice became serious and concerned. "Do you hear something?"
Shinji listened and he could vaguely hear sobbing coming from Asuka's room. "Should I?" He asked with concern on his face. Rei nodded.
Shinji walked over to Asuka's door and knocked. "Asuka? Asuka? Are you okay?"
"Go away!" Was the reply that was shouted from inside the room. Shinji turned to Rei and Shrugged.
"She'll come out when dinner's ready, she has to eat." She says this as he winks at Rei.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
*Whoosh*
The door to Asuka's room was opened so quickly that you could hear it as it moved through the air. Immediately after this, a fiery red-head ran out of the room and plopped down in a chair at the table. This movement however, was hardly noticeable to the human eye it was so fast. It looked more like, door open, red blur, Asuka in chair.
"SPAGHETTI!" Asuka yelled out as she saw what was in the large serving bowl in the middle of the table. Her earlier demeanor seemingly forgotten, she grabbed the serving spoon and took a huge portion of spaghetti. Asuka then continued to plop it down onto her plate and start to inhale the new contents on her plate.
The other three occupants of the room looked on in disgust as Asuka consumed the meal that Shinji had prepared. After she was finished, Shinji and Rei both slowly pushed their plates away, losing their appetites at the sight. Gendou however, having been a single father for a few years, had already seen quite a few disgusting things. Gendou slowly ate his spaghetti, pausing to comment on Shinji's excellent skills. Asuka was now looking on with a satisfied look on her face. All of the meal was gone except for a little tiny bit of sauce on the very corner of her lip. Shinji giggled a bit when he noticed that small remnant.
"What the hell are you laughing at?" Asuka growled.
Shinji gestured to the corner of his mouth, but Asuka didn't seem to get the message. Shinji decided that Asuka was too preoccupied with her anger to notice, so he took action himself. Shinji carefully folded his napkin so that a little corner was sticking up in front of his finger. He then proceeded to dab at the corner of Asuka's mouth, much like a mother would their child. Asuka was dumbstruck at first, then she caught Shinji's warm smile. Asuka could lose herself in his deep blue eyes, and his warm loving smile. She would have probably kissed him, had Gendou not laughed out-loud at the situation.
"Just like his mother!" Gendou had this revelation again. Shinji reminded Gendou of the young Yui, dabbing at baby Shinji's face.
"Hey Baka! I can do it myself!" Asuka grabbed the napkin out of Shinji's hand and finished cleaning her face.
"Geesh. I was just tryin' ta' help." Shinji said in an exasperated manner. Rei smiled, knowing that she would never let go of the treasure that was Shinji Ikari.
- - - - - - - - - - -
After Shinji had cleaned the table and washed the dishes with Rei's help. They sat down at the table. Asuka had retreated to her room to sulk, and Gendou had gone to his room to read. Neither Shinji, nor Rei, had eaten anything at dinner. They both looked at each other with a knowing smile.
"Shall we?" Shinji said as he stood up and proffered his arm to her.
"Hai." Said Rei as she took it and they walked out the door.

Author's Notes
Sorry this took so long. I've been sooooo busy with the musical, being SICK AS H#$@! *Whap* OUCH! What was that for? Oh, the swearing, okay, I'll stop. Anyways, yeah I've been REALLY sick. I felt like I downed a bottle of Grey Goose Vodka. I hope you liked this chapter. The end was a little scratchy, actually I thought this whole chapter was crap. But to further a plot-line you have to get through the crappy parts to get to the good parts. I don't know if the next chapter will be any better, but it should get better within' 2 chapters. Thnx! And please review!!!!!
